Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to identify the unique ultrasonic characteristics of steatocystomas to distinguish them from similar skin lesions like epidermal inclusion cysts and lipomas.
  • The researchers analyzed the ultrasound features of 14 steatocystomas, focusing on aspects such as shape, margin, and echogenicity, and compared these findings with those of the other two conditions.
  • Key differentiating features found were that steatocystomas often had smooth margins and homogeneous internal echotexture, while lacking prominent posterior acoustic enhancement, distinguishing them clearly from epidermal inclusion cysts and lipomas.

Sebaceous glands are sebum-secreting components of pilosebaceous units. The embryological development of the sebaceous gland follows that of the hair follicle and epidermal tissue, beginning between weeks 13 and 16 of fetal development. New sebaceous glands do not normally develop following birth, but their size increases with age.
